How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send final numbers the day before
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Name a contact in the production office
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
- Clear of the shot and sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
